GENOMICS

HMGP CPBS & STBB 7620 (Human Medical Genetics and Genomics, Structural Biology and Biochemistry, and Computational Bioscience), Spring 2014, will introduce graduate students (and interested postdocs, PRAs, and faculty) to the field of genomics.

The lecture course is designed and directed by Profs. Pollock, Johnston, and Sikela, with guest lectures by Martin, Shaikh, and Spritz.

First class is Tuesday January 22. Last lecture is Monday, February 10. This is an intensive 3-week course, M-F 8-10 am, similar to a core section Ed 2 South, Room 1308 (professors and students are encouraged to take a break and stretch midway).

For further enrollment information contact

See FAQ for more info.

NEW

First lecture was today, by Mark Johnston. Good job taking break in the middle (hopefully this will be standard practice).

We're planning to get the lecture powerpoints up here for students to download. Please let one of the course directors know if lectures don't get put up in a timely fashion after the lecture.

NOTICES

The previous optional workshop has been set up as a separate course this year, Mol Biol 7620. Please make sure you are signed up for the right course(s).
